Students investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book The Greedy Triangle and define the shapes mentioned in the book. Students make the shapes by using their bodies.

Extend young mathematicians' understanding of area with a geometry lesson on trapezoids. Building on their prior knowledge of rectangles and triangles, students learn how to calculate the area of trapezoids and other...

Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry activity, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Young scholars are introduced to the topic of congruence and proportions in Geometry. Using technology, they construct and validate the properties of various geometric figures and identify whether it is congruent or proportion to the...

Students calculate the speed using metric measurements. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate speed, distance and velocity using metric measurements. They gain inquiry and problem solving skills in this...

Fifth graders explore shapes. They recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Pupils discuss the properties and criteria for each shape they find in real life and construct a Kid Pix project using pictures of the...
